Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a life cycle proof design with the main living and sleeping areas located on the ground floor, which is ideal for accessibility and aging in place.
- There is a versatile layout with a full extra floor and a basement, offering ample space that can be adapted for various uses such as a home office, gym, or guest rooms.
- High quality amenities are present throughout the home, including a marble floor with underfloor heating, a luxurious bathroom with a bath and rain shower, and a complete kitchen with an American fridge.
- The outdoor space is generous and low maintenance, featuring a garden surrounding the house, a large overhang with lighting, two sheds with electricity, and a driveway with parking for two cars.
Downsides
- The energy label is C, which is moderate for a property of this size and age, and may require future investment to improve energy efficiency.

- There is only one bathroom available, which might be less convenient if the additional rooms on the first floor are utilized as bedrooms for a larger family or frequent guests.
Description
Situated in the tranquil and green village church of Acht, near Eindhoven, this surprisingly spacious and life cycle proof bungalow with an extra floor offers an ideal living solution for those who wish to reside on a single level without compromising on space or future possibilities. The property is a detached residence that combines comfort with versatility, making it suitable for various stages of life.
Upon arrival, a wide driveway provides ample parking space for two vehicles, leading to the broad and stylish glass front door. The entrance sets a welcoming tone, opening into a royal and light hall that houses the meter cupboard and a guest toilet complete with a fountain. A standout feature of the entire home is the high-quality finishing, evidenced by the marble floor that runs throughout the ground floor. This floor is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, featuring comfortable floor heating that ensures a warm and pleasant climate in every room.
The heart of the home is the expansive through living room. Thanks to windows positioned on three sides, the room is bathed in natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. A soapstone fireplace serves as a charming focal point, providing additional warmth and a cozy ambiance during the cooler months. Adjacent to the living area is the dining space, which is defined by a large glass facade that can be fully opened. This design element allows for a seamless transition between the indoors and the outdoors, offering a beautiful view over the garden and enhancing the sense of space.
The kitchen is a spacious and well-appointed area designed for culinary convenience. It is fully equipped with modern amenities, including a dishwasher, a sink, a 4-pit induction cooktop, a combi-oven, and an American refrigerator. Various built-in cabinets with integrated lighting ensure that storage is abundant and organized. The kitchen also benefits from generous window placement, allowing for plenty of daylight and a pleasant view of the garden surroundings.
From the kitchen, one accesses the sleeping wing of the house. This section of the home is designed with light in mind, featuring a large glass facade and a direct door to the garden. The hallway in this wing includes a practical built-in closet. The ground floor hosts two full-sized bedrooms. The first bedroom is located at the front of the house and is fitted with a ceiling fan for air circulation. At the end of the hall lies the master bedroom. This room is particularly generous in size, featuring built-in spotlights, ample closet space, and a ceiling fan. It also boasts a large glass facade that opens to the garden, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoor views directly from their sleeping quarters.
The bathroom is luxurious and accessible both from the master bedroom as an ensuite and from the general hallway. It is fitted with a bathtub equipped with a bubble function, a rain shower, a toilet, a design radiator, and a vanity unit. This arrangement offers convenience and privacy for the occupants.
A utility room provides additional storage space with built-in cabinets and grants access to the technical room where the central heating installation is located. From the utility room, one can enter the garage. This garage is spacious and features an electric rolling door. Importantly, it also houses the staircase that leads to the first floor, making the upper level easily accessible internally.
The first floor extends over the entire width of the property and is currently divided into three separate spaces. These areas offer immense flexibility and can be arranged according to the specific needs of the new owners. Whether used as extra bedrooms, a home office, a hobby room, or a fitness space, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, there is abundant storage space available behind the knee walls on this floor, ensuring that the living areas remain clutter-free.
A unique feature of this property is the basement, which is accessible via the kitchen. Currently, this space is ingeniously set up as a home cinema, providing a dedicated area for entertainment. However, the room is multifunctional and can be completely adapted to suit other preferences, such as a wine cellar or a playroom.
The exterior of the property is equally impressive. The maintenance-friendly garden wraps around the house and is accessible from both the living room and the sleeping wing. It features a spacious overhang with built-in spotlights and a large sun awning, creating perfect spots for outdoor dining and relaxation regardless of the weather. There are also two garden sheds present on the property, both of which are equipped with electricity, offering useful external storage or workspace solutions.
In terms of special features, the home is fully equipped with electric shutters, which can be taken over, adding an extra layer of security and comfort. The combination of a life cycle proof layout, a full extra floor, and a basement means that this bungalow offers not only current comfort but also extensive possibilities for the future. Located in the characteristic village of Acht, the property offers a peaceful living environment while remaining conveniently situated near Eindhoven.
